ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the role of homozygosity mapping in the fine mapping of the genes responsible for the rare autosomal recessive diseases.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Polymerase chain reaction-single sequence length polymorphism was used to genotype the family members from 8 families with osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome(OPS) for 14 polymorphic loci within candidate region. The OPS candidate region was narrowed by searching for homozygous region in affected.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The OPS candidate region was narrowed to a 1 cM interval between D11S1296 and D11S4136.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Homozygosity mapping is a powerful method for mapping and narrowing the candidate region of the genes responsible for the rare autosomal recessive diseases.</p>
